A view of Kijong-dong from South Korea.
從韓國一側看到的機井洞景觀 。
Built in the four kilometre wide DMZ that was set up in 1953 as an armistice to end the Korean War, the town claims to have 200 residents and boasts an image of economic success.
1953年,南北朝鮮簽訂停戰協議,同時機井洞在橫跨4公里的非軍事區上建立 。據稱機井洞有200名居民,并取得了巨大的經濟成就 。
However observations from the south have suggested that Kijong-dong is fake and is uninhabited and devoid of human life.
然而據韓國觀察,機井洞是一座假城,沒有居民居住 。
The buildings are actually concrete shells with no glass in their windows, electric lights operate on an automatic timer and the only people in sight are maintenance workers who sweep the streets to give the impression of activity.
這里的建筑物大多是鋼筋混凝土的空殼,窗戶沒有裝上玻璃,電力系統也是自動定時器控制的,唯一可見的人就是清理街道的工人,給人一種人類活動的跡象 。
